Data from public FDD filings and SBA records. Not financial advice. Methodology

Bottom line
- Total investment $109K – $210K including a $30K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed. The franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Verdict B (Above Average) with a risk score of 57/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

- 03MINORHigh initial investment range ($108,550-$210,000) with 5% royalty lacks transparent earnings data to justify cost
